I'm sure the paying customers do. It's just a suggestion, and I didn't know where else online to propose it. If no one can help, we'll get along with the pencils, paper, protractors, compasses, and pace counts we've been using for decades! I didn't know what the best place would be to suggest a new idea, and the developers forum seemed like a logical place. If someone has some free time (which I'm sure many developers probably don't), then it would be useful to us. Obviously this is your business, and don't skip out on paying customers if you don't want to help us.
